I think 2008 will be Gingrich vs Gore.) And speaking of algore:

Let's see now, Ginrich the adulterer vs. Gore the family man? Hmmm...
How would those choices fly in South Carolina? Could the Conservative Christian heartland back one with such baggage? Would the Moderate Southern Baptist majority fall back on Tipper Gore's campaign against rock music, et al?
Or would we just find the Constitution party better than EITHER? And would the CP put up a Southerner for good measure?
Just wondering. :-)
I think that there is a very good chance that disgruntled conservatives will break away and support a 3rd party candidate. The downside of that is that it will ensure victory for the Democrat candidate. There doesn't seem to be a perfect answer, does there?
I came across a Survey site last year that had surveyed in every district in all the states with pairing of races between the leading contenders. This was before the November victory, I believe, but the consensus was that Guiliani is the strongest and that NO democratic candidate can beat him OR John McCain. "Survey shows" that the closest race would between McCain and Edwards. A Guliani vs. Clinton race is the mayor's hands down, though a Wallace-like 3rd party victory could throw it into the House. See my graphics at my blog
Giuliani is an intriguing candidate. There's a lot to like about him. My concerns are with his "conservative credentials" on issues like abortion, gay marriage and the like. He says that, if elected, he would nominate federal judges in the same mold as Scalia, but I just don't believe that. A pro-choice, pro-gay marriage politician would never nominate a conservative judge. The good news---it's a long, long road to Nov. 2008, and I believe that this situation will sort itself out.
Since this is an ongoing string, I will refer to the more recent blog about Fred Thompson's possible run (it is a long, long road). It is interesting that two conservative contenders are Southerners who replaced the two other Southerners that plagued America in the 90's! The 1994 "take over" by the Republicans seems like ancient history now that they have lost it after only twelve years.
This decade can still be a "conservative" one if we can nominate the right man to lead us in 2008. However, what good is a "conservative" majority if the minority calls the shots. Those that demand "tolerance" and "compromise" are always the winners in political debate. There are some things that demand our stand: Life, Liberty, and the persuit of happiness (property). God-given rights should not be negotiable!
I just finished reading an article saying that Fred Thompson and John McCain are very close friends, and that Thompson has no intentions of running if McCain is in the race. Interesting. Maybe the McCain problem will solve itself. I keep hearing that his campaign is in dire straits.
